The peculiar interaction between his energy and the material that the sheath for her sword was made of was the first thing that he noticed, considering how ti responded it turned out well for him in the end. The spiritual energy that he had used to issue the attack wasn't dissipated since it was repelled, meaning that when it shot out to try and pierce her it was sent back to where it was from. This put the energy back into the physical form of his weapon where it was once more locked in place, so that turned out for the best if he were to have an opinion on the matter. It transpired as he had started to maneuver her arm since she was holding onto the sheath while he stepped to his right, aiming to circle around to Uzuki's left and out of the line of fire. She released the sheath before she was thrown off of balance too far but that didn't mean he was going to give the sheath back, at least right away. The erratic shots that were fired were avoided by his continuous circling, now balancing the sheath of Uzuki's sword within two of the prongs of his spear. At about the same time a geyser of flame erupted from the ground and struck toward the tree tops.

Sky immediately sought to take advantage of this, using Uzuki's sheath to do so. Before the fire died down, which more than likely would take place either shortly before or during the exchange between Uzuki and the squirrel, Sky applied considerably power with a swing of his spear in a wide arc, launching the Saya like a missile at the blade of the fire spewing sword. Since he was on the opposite side of the fire geyser from Uzuki when the sheath to her own sword would hit the sword itself, despite its deep anchor into the ground, the sword would tilt in her direction which hopefully started spewing flame either right above her or practically on top of her. He considered from what he saw of the length of the hilt and the width of the tsuba how much pressure would be needed to knock it over, uprooting the soil that would have normally held it in place. More than likely she wouldn't have the time to speak, but if she continued to do so after she dealt with the redirected fire attack there wouldn't be a single response from him. Meanwhile he backed up quickly from the growing heat and positioned himself next to a tree.

With a swing from his spear the tree was severed from its stump roughly a foot off of the ground. By the time the fire geyser had ceased he spun and smacked the tree, now essentially sitting on its severed stump without a tether to the ground, with the flat side of his spear head. It took effort but that tree, burning canopy and all, would be sent sailing toward Uzuki. He was sure that, although an annoyance, she'd be fine dealing with something that was her own attack. So he needed to follow it up with something. The tree, slightly over 100 feet high with an appropriate thickness of trunk, would impact severed trunk first on the ground not too far away from her and then fall the rest of the way like a tree normally did, aiming to slam down on her from above with branches spread all around which would interfere with attempt to avoid if she chose that route and was too slow about it. Meanwhile Sky watched, maintained his stance and position next to the newly made stump, and funneled more energy into his spear.
